Exposure wise it would have been a big move - but i dare say the old back pocket as ruled the head here, he knows he will be earning a fair whack through Prime Time - probably a lot more than what he would of on channel 5

Bills have got to be paid. Hatton's card is on a different scale economically then a Hennessy show with Galahad v Bum and Eubank Jnr v Bum....which Mick can through together for relatative peanuts.
Quigg-Munroe will be and deservedly so on a decent wack, same with the Martin Murrays, Bucklands and Fosters etc. These kids deserve to be well paid and if it takes sticking it on PPV so be it.

I'm sure Ricky is struggling to pay the rent.
I agree that Ricky is probably a bit too big for Channel Five though.

Just a thought - if he boxed on channel 5 would the TV company make more money from advertisers than it would normally on a Saturday night? Better in Hattons pocket than the Telly men IMO. Hatton worked hard to be in the position where people want to watch him box.

When he says; 'I'm not doing this for the money' he may mean that money is not the first or sole consideration or motivating factor. If I were to train hard for 12 weeks, diet and fight a prepared man in front of thousands live and hundreds of thousands on television, risking (another) humiliating loss; if I did that and had the choice to do it for free or to get paid my market worth; I think I'd choose to get paid.

Being stuck in america, and with it being so warm, a small natural river would be useful too

Bollocks to the streams. I've decided to purchase my first ppv in years. didn't have a single problem with primetime, sorted out easy. Nice to have a perfect picture and no screen freezing!
